Cellphone users reported receiving unsolicited, mysterious anti-Obama text messages Tuesday night. Many took to Twitter to share screenshots of the anonymous messages, the majority of which were sent around 8:30 p.m. EST. Most of the texts were attributed to unregistered websites — aiccommett.com, informedett.com, and gopmessagers.com. The texts do not appear to be officially affiliated with the Romney campaign or Republican party.
